1、Surgical gown
It is usually an operating room garment consisting of a base material and a water-blocking layer. The base material is usually made of nonwoven or textile fabric, and the water-blocking layer is a water-blocking material. Surgical gowns are divided into two supply forms: aseptically provided single-use and non-sterile reusable.

2、Surgical sheet
The base material is mainly made of non-woven fabric or textile fabric, the water-blocking layer is water-blocking material, and the liquid control material is liquid absorbent material and/or plastic film. It is used to cover the surgical patient's body to prevent the open surgical wound from being contaminated, or used to cover the surgical operating room instrument table, operating table, display screen, etc. to avoid the doctor in surgery from touching the above parts.

Material Development History
1、Late 19th century
Due to frequent infections in patients, medical personnel were advised to wear sterilized clothing for surgical operations to prevent the spread of pathogenic bacteria among the population.

2、1940s
Surgical gowns and sheets became popular. The initial surgical gowns were generally made of cotton materials with loose structure and easy permeability. Cotton materials were accepted by most users because of their looseness and breathability.

3、1960s
With the development of non-woven fabrics, a new type of surgical gown was promoted - disposable surgical gowns, which had good barrier and breathability as well as the strength of the material, and were thus favored by many health care workers.

4、1980s
As the "HIV virus" spread around the world, the market share of disposable gowns gradually expanded, and hospitals urgently needed a new type of reusable surgical gown that was economically sustainable and made of high-strength material.
